At 2.20 a message from Gavin on the With' WhatsApp stating he'd just had what was almost certainly the same bird S past the Lifeboat Station!
I was watching the Darts in the bedroom. Scramble! I grabbed my bins and camera, jumped in the car and headed to the end of School Lane (slightly further South). 5 minutes of scanning produced a few distant Herring and Greater Black-backed Gulls. The light was poor and it was slightly misty.
Then, a lone gull appeared c200 yds offshore flying steadily South...with pale wingtips...
Admittedly a dodgy BOC cropped pic but good enough as a record shot. Some hint of shade on the pic but seemed fine through the bins. Photos can be deceptive. As you know I'm no Larophile!!
